PY - 2017 T2 - Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Understanding child development and its associated constructs sets the care of children apart from the care of adults.1 There is consensus on the need to provide developmentally appropriate health care to children and adolescents, especially in the context of disability and chronic illness.2 When provided with an appropriate venue children across developmental ages can develop mastery in skills necessary to adapt and cope with illness, hospitalization, and treatment. They begin to understand many aspects of illness and treatment. Over time they are adept participants in care and treatment planning, able to communicate their needs as active partners in physician-patient-parent communication triads.3 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/20 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1146112720 ER -
